Juniper Networks EX8208 manual Ethernet Cable Connector

Complete Hardware Guide for EX8208 Ethernet Switches

Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector available. An RJ-45 cable and an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter are supplied with the switch.

Figure 72 on page 182 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable supplied with the switch.

Figure 72: Ethernet Cable Connector

NOTE: If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 male connector pin and you want to connect your laptop or PC directly to an EX Series switch, use a combination of the RJ-45 to DB-9 female adapter supplied with the switch and a USB to DB-9 male adapter. You must provide the USB to DB-9 male adapter.

To connect an EX Series switch to a management console (see Figure 73 on page 182 and Figure 74 on page 183):

1.Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the console port (labeled CON or CONSOLE) on the EX Series switch.

For the location of the CON/CONSOLE port on different EX Series switches:

•See Rear Panel of an EX2200 Switch.

•See Rear Panel of an EX3200 Switch.

•See Rear Panel of an EX4200 Switch.

•See Front Panel of an EX4500 Switch.

•See “Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) Module in an EX8208 Switch” on page 24.

•See Routing Engine (RE) Module in an EX8216 Switch.

2.Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the console server (see Figure 73 on page 182) or management console (see Figure 74 on page 183).

To configure the switch from the management console, see“Connecting and Configuring an EX Series Switch (CLI Procedure)” on page 190 or “Connecting and Configuring an EX Series Switch (J-Web Procedure)” on page 192.
